lime frosting 4 graham crackers split in half 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon key lime juice bottled ¼ cup powdered sugar directions in a small sauce pan melt the butter and lime juice together barely bring to a boil sift in powdered sugar frost the eight graham cracker halves yields makes 8 open faced graham cracker cookies notes i use unsalted butter this makes bright citrus cookies or with chocolate frosting 8 graham crackers split in half ½ ounce 1 square of 60 cacao chocolate 3 tablespoons cream ½ cup powdered sugar directions melt chocolate and cream together stir sift in powdered sugar stirring well after each ¼ cup of powdered sugar stir some more until a smooth mixture is formed frost the 16 graham cracker halves yields makes 16 open faced graham cracker cookies notes this is a sweeter graham cracker cookie than the key lime frosting graham cracker cookie one could reduce the amount of cream and then reduce the powdered sugar and the result would be fewer less sweet cookies and more chocolate flavor link for a brown sugar based frosting try icing for banana cake read more posted by et charles april 15 2026 no comments email this blogthis share to x
